First Meal: I had an audition in the morning and Gary had acting class. I came home first, starving. We had not eaten anything this morning. I took out all the leftovers and thought I would make Baked Falafel. When the Falafel were almost done, Gary came home and I warmed up the Potatoes and…
First Meal: I did it! I made Soy Foam almost as good as Gary’s this morning. My Soy Foam typically deflates quickly. But today I took the time making it and it came out wonderful. Like Gary makes it. I made Steel Cut Oats too, served with Blueberries, Flax Seeds, Apples, Raisins, Cinnamon and Sunflower…
First Meal: I am having leftovers for breakfast, starting with Corn Chowder. Next up a slice of Ezekiel toast with Gary’s “Tuna” Salad, made with Garbanzo Beans. Second Meal: We went to Manhattan for a memorial service. It was quite sad. When we left the church it was snowing outside. We were by…
First Meal: We had leftover over Banana Coconut Cream from last night’s dessert. I could hear it screaming in my ear to be a part of breakfast. We poured it over Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries, Apples, Coconut and Walnuts. Second Meal: Gary had bought Einkorn flour the other day. He had a desire…
First Meal: Today I am at mom’s house. I typically visit once a week to do things for her. I hired a house cleaner recently and quickly learned I need to be there to keep mom distracted so the person can clean. My brother joined in the fun today and I was grateful to have…
First Meal: Yesterday was so cold and today? Beautiful! It was sunny and relatively warm. Gary suggested we eat out… on the terrace! We needed to wear sweaters but it was so lovely. The Rolled Oats with Apples, Raisins, Coconut and Soy Milk never tasted so good. Second Meal: You know how I love…
First Meal: Some days you just have to have Tofu Scramble. This was one of those days. I am lucky that Gary agreed to make it! We buried it with Nutritional Yeast and served it with Corn Tortillas. Second Meal: It was also a Green Zenphony Day. Just because. Bean Curd Platter Supreme for…
First Meal: I had a call back audition today for a show in Wisconsin. I’m excited! It was fun and I feel like I did very well. I came home and made a great salad with the fresh and firm Romaine Lettuce I bought at Fairway yesterday. The second course was a repeat of…
First Meal: Everybody has their handful of dishes they make all the time. We do too, but there are more than a handful. Buckwheat crepes is one of them. Every time I make them I marvel at how easy they are. I made mine savory with a Spinach filling, mixed with some of the Tomato…
First Meal: I love leftovers! Today’s were the best. Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Greens to start. Garbanzo Bean Flour Waffles with Almond Butter and Apricot Butter. Yum. Second Meal: Gary made a wonderful stew tonight, Roasted Red Bell Peppers mixed with Tempeh, Carrots, Rancho Gordo Marcella Beans and a Tomato Paste with Roasted…
First Meal: I know what you are thinking. “They haven’t had waffles in awhile.” That’s right! I corrected that this morning with Garbanzo Bean Flour Waffles served with smashed Bananas and Apricot Butter. Second Meal: I haven’t seen mom in a week so it was time to visit. As usual, we went to lunch…
First Meal: I was served my favorite hot drink – Teeccino with Soy Foam and a dusting of Cocoa. Today’s Rolled Oat Bowl has Blueberries, Flax Seeds, Cacao Nibs, Raspberry Coulis and Cashew Yogurt. Second Meal: Yesterday’s Pasta Fagioli was reheated and served with Tempeh, Potatoes, Onions and Peas. We both had…
First Meal: Some days I start cooking not knowing what I will be making. Today was one of those days. I began by steaming Brussels Sprouts and boiling Yellow Potatoes. Then I got creative with some Tempeh. I cut it in chunks and added it to sautéed Onions. I made a Mustard and Apricot Butter…
First Meal: Today’s cooked breakfast cereal is a combination of Oats and Polenta with Raisins and topped with Raspberry Coulis. Second Meal: I did it again. I combined a bunch of leftovers to make a new dish. Yesterday’s leftover Green Zenphony dishes with Brown/Red Rice, Eggplant in Black Bean Sauce and Taro Veggie Chicken…
First Meal: If you’ve been reading my blog, which will soon be five years old, you will know that I love soup. You should also know that I love making soup out of leftovers which is what I did today. I took the String Bean Dish with Buckwheat and Onions added water and some beans.…
First Meal: I love breakfasts that taste like dessert. This morning’s Breakfast Polenta was just that, topped with cooked Raisins, Raspberry Coulis, Coconut Flakes and Flax Seeds. Second Meal: Gary’s sister Deb gifted us with several boxes of Rancho Gordo Beans last year. We just finished up our older inventory of dried beans and…
First Meal: We are going on a road trip to Connecticut to see a property. We like to look at homes for sale in different places, hoping one day to find the place that makes us both melt, or even just one of us. We had Rolled Oats with Coconut, walnuts, Cacao Nibs, Raisins and…
First Meal: I have to have my beans. I soaked and cooked some Pinto Beans yesterday and grabbed a small bowl for breakfast. Then I sat down with Gary and we had our regular breakfast of Rolled Oats with Apples, Raisins, Walnuts and Soy Milk. Second Meal: I went to visit mom today…
First Meal: So far the New Year is starting off deliciously. I made a classic Oatmeal with Raisins and smothered it with a warm Strawberry Coulis and served it along with Pink Grapefruit. Gary prepared our cups of his classic Teeccino with Soy Foam and Cocoa Dust. Second Meal: I’ll admit I couldn’t…
Green Juice: On the road again. We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and woke up on the first day of 2020 in our hotel room. Gary slept in and I went to work out in the gym. I wanted to start the New Year off with exercise! We had brought some frozen, homemade Green…
